[11:22] “As a young child, you should just be enjoying your life, enjoying being a kid, you know? And not feeling all this insecurity, and all these feelings of, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm not good enough for my clothes, don't look like their clothes, or my teeth are crooked, and I'm not pretty because they have perfect teeth.’”
[28:44] “When you finally get to a place where you see the light, and it's shining on you, you feel that warmth, that of being in dark and cold for so long is phenomenal. And I owe it all to them. I owe everything to my parents.”
[30:54] “When you're there for other people, beautiful things can happen. And that could lead to such a beautiful road of friendships and relationships.”
[38:25] “God has a plan for you in your life. And sometimes we have to endure the storm, we have to endure the desert, but many times, God will just take care of you and he will get you out of that place.”
[39:18] “But know that you have so much inside of yourself that can get through anything—that you're powerful, you're brave, it's okay to cry, it's okay to question. It's also okay to be strong, and to try to be positive, and to feel the way that you want to feel, but just know that there is a plan that you will see the rising sun again. That there is hope in the midst of so much darkness.”

We are living in unprecedented times. The disasters going on all around us may overwhelm us if we continue to merely react to them instead of responding to them. Thus, returning to ourselves through meditation will be beneficial for our spiritual well-being, especially in this time of crisis.
In this episode, Alan Finger discusses why we are trapped in our own thoughts and misbelief. As a yoga and meditation expert, he believes we are excessively reactive to the world around us because we don't take the time to be still. Now more than ever, we need to practice mindfulness and yoga to be at peace in this anxiety-inducing world.
If you want to uplift your consciousness, reconnect with yourself, and decrease your anxiety, this episode is for you!

[6:27] “Anyone who can tap into genius comes back, and looks at life, and can respond to life rather than react. When we react, it's COVID, it's presidential elections, it's chaos, and we get pulled into it and the dramas begin. Whereas we come to it from spirit, we come to it from a pure vision, we express and do what our role necessarily is, we know we're going back to meditate and back to self.”
[16:34] “It's (social media) connecting us, and the more we can put out this kind of correct information into it, the more people will grow.”
[41:21] “Yoga was done to balance the body and the energetics that's in the body to bring us to a peak consciousness.”
[52:42] “It's not how many tattoos and nose rings and blah blahs you can have. It's how much Shakti you can radiate in life. Uplift everyone by uplifting your own consciousness. Uplift all beings with you.”
[59:33] “When your mind is still, the nature of consciousness that is not distracted by mind is unconditional love. That's the essence; that's the language of your soul.”
Alan Finger is a prolific teacher in the world of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. He came from a family of yogis and was a student of his father. He was raised in South Africa and was initiated into yogiraj at the age of 21.

[23:07] “[Do] not underestimate your capacity to evolve with your child.”
[28:53] “My family with a trans child is no different than any other family that doesn't have a trans child. I have the same hopes, dreams, aspirations for my kid than anybody else has for theirs.”

[09:52] “The thing that makes you an adult is the day that you realize that whatever you're going through, millions of other people are going through it too. So there is no reason to hold anything back.”
[14:36] “If you don't take real action towards a dream or if you do and either thing doesn't deliver that dream in a timely manner, there's a lot of dreams. Let's find something that will satiate you.”
[23:58] “I believe, like you, in meditation, and breathing, and getting as centered as possible, and giving myself permission to be just a wreck. I did that. And then I gave myself permission to get myself out of it.”
[32:55] “It's okay to lose stuff, and money, and things. It's not okay to lose who you are, yourself, in the process, especially if you know yourself and you like yourself.”
[39:16] “Once you accept that, ‘This is me; this is my life; this is my condition; this is the world. This is me. And it's okay. It is okay.’ you don't have to escape it. And if you don't have to escape something, you don't need the substances. You can just be yourself.”

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many people around the world have been suffering from chronic and lifestyle diseases. Because we are bombarded with unhealthy food choices, we often forget that food can be medicine as well. And one way of making optimum nutrition available for everyone is sprouting.
In this episode, health food entrepreneur Doug Evans introduces us to sprouting. He walks us through his journey to changing his diet. He also shares the benefits of eating sprouts and how you can start sprouting. Finally, he shares three tips on how you can take control of your health.
Tune in if you want to learn how you can grow nutritious food through sprouting.
[06:44] “My philosophy on food is that everything that you put in your mouth is a life or death decision.”
[33:08] “Sprouting can help equalize the food system whereas anyone can afford to buy seeds, add water, and then have their organic vegetable garden on their kitchen countertop in the size of a toaster oven.”
[56:39] “Seeds are these diamonds. Like we're sitting on them; they're right in front of our face. They're one phone call, one trip to the store, one Amazon sprout man, True Leaf Market order away. And you can get the seeds; you can get empowered. And who would believe that eating sprouts could change your life?”
[1:00:06] “Are you eating this because it is in your destiny and your divinity that you are choosing this with the full intention of your being? Or are you eating this because it's convenient or someone else is selling it to you?”
[1:10:16] “We can choose to be a victim, or we can choose to be a victor. And it's not about motivation; it's about action.”
Doug Evans is a simple man who joined the army when he was 17 years old. Because of his adventurous spirit, he discovered sprouting. He turned this passion into a book entitled The Sprout Book. Doug is an advocate of mindful eating for a healthier and happier life.
